Nourishing, organic, vegan meals. At our Nature Retreats, we want to make sure your soul ánd body are nourished in the best possible way. We collaborate with inspiring chefs who carefully put together nourishing dinners and breakfasts that evoke warmth and comfort. Every ingredient is organic, vegan and ideally locally sourced. Think grilled green asparagus with lemon, tahini-aubergines, tarragon pesto, creamy cauliflower-hazelnut soup, blood orange curd tarts, beetroot-bourgignon and stewed honey-walnut pears. Even the dark-chocolate paste at the breakfast table is home-made (and not to be missed). Food for the body, food for the soul. We think you might love it. #body #mind #wellness #nature #natural medicine #organicfood #foodforthesoul #homemadefood #foodlovers

A different therapeutic model requires different training. By Norma Mancini Stevens “The use of psychedelic-assisted therapy (PAT) is gaining momentum, with 2024 potentially a transformative year: MDMA could be approved for treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as early as August, and forms of both LSD and psilocybin have been designated “breakthrough therapy” by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). As these therapies approach the market, there is an urgency to train therapists to meet the anticipated demand and ensure patients receive safe and effective treatment. As a therapist long specializing in trauma and Internal Family Systems (IFS), I wanted to explore whether PAT would help some patients move beyond seemingly intractable issues. I trained to become a therapist in psychedelic medicine. Five years later, the move has proven to be highly rewarding, and I’ve learned much about preparing therapists for this emerging field. In contrast to traditional approaches, in which the therapist serves as an expert, PAT therapists facilitate a person’s discovery of their own wisdom and empower them in their own healing through a nondirective approach. Therapists need to model compassion, openness, and curiosity as much as possible, which allows patients to feel safe, develop trust, and apply their own compassion and curiosity to their experiences. A PAT therapist needs proficiency in working with trauma, no matter the indication for therapy, and the ability to develop a therapeutic alliance quickly. Of course, competency in helping people navigate alternative states of consciousness and the profound shifts in worldview that often accompany the experience is key. PAT therapists must also develop the skills to stay present and support patients through prolonged experiences of distress. The requirements for training PAT therapists have not been set yet. As psychedelic medicine moves beyond research, training standards and accreditation are required to assure the highest quality of care.” Read the full article via the link in our news highlight. #body #mind #wellness #healing #naturalmedicine #psychedelictherapy
